This book was recommended to me by
Amarillo College professor and UNT alumni, Dr. Jim Laughlin during my
second year in music school. I personally own a small library of jazz
piano books and still consider this to be one of the best and most useful. After studying this book on my own I was able to start reading
chord charts and began playing piano in jazz bands.

Learning jazz piano is a lifetime study but this book can give you a major jump start.
